The idea of Europe with various layers that constitute the ‘European' identity has grown over a long period of time. It has never been an easily defined concept. From the geographical perspective, in the north, west and south the peninsula is bounded by the sea but the eastern border has always been questionable and Europeans themselves have been in doubt as to where Europe ends in the east. The notion of Europe has never been unified either. From the point of view of the society and culture, the shadows of internal divisions have persisted throughout various periods: the Renaissance polarization between the South and the North followed by the dichotomy of East and West. Thirdly, as Norman Davies [2007, 7] points out, "for many centuries the idea of political Europe was no more than a utopia, an unrealised ideal". Yet, towards the end of the 20th century, with the expansion of the European Union and creation of supranational political, legal and financial institutions, the concept of ‘one' Europe has become a living reality
